Yes this is absolutely true. Sorry I did not want to create any confusion
here.
BTW I wanted to keep on using the commons daemon code since well I like to
eat our own dog food but others pushed for the wrapper. To my surprise
actually turned out to be easier in the end for us to use perhaps because of
the specifics in our project.
However the wrapper thingy is plagued by this whole licensing issue after
its last truly open version. So it would be nice if we can find a way to
make commons daemon a single executable that behaves exactly the same
regardless of the platform.
